Scooter Pegs Buying Guide

Scooter pegs are essential for riders looking to perform tricks, grinds, and stunts on their scooters. Whether you're new to scooter riding or looking to upgrade your current setup, this guide will help you choose the perfect scooter pegs to match your style and needs.

What Are Scooter Pegs?

Scooter pegs are small cylindrical attachments fixed to the front and/or rear axles of your scooter. They allow riders to perform grinding tricks on rails, curbs, and ledges, significantly expanding the capabilities of your scooter.

How to Choose the Right Scooter Pegs

Compatibility

Before purchasing scooter pegs, check if they are compatible with your scooter model. Most scooters support pegs, but specific brands or models might require special pegs or additional parts such as longer axle bolts. Always verify compatibility details provided by manufacturers.

Peg Types

Scooter pegs typically come in two main varieties:

  • Non-Integrated Pegs: These pegs use your existing axle bolts. Often, you may need to purchase longer axle bolts separately to accommodate the pegs.
  • Integrated Pegs: These pegs come with their own axle bolts, simplifying installation. Integrated pegs usually offer a universal fit for most scooters.

Materials

Scooter pegs are commonly available in:

  • Aluminium: Lightweight, ideal for beginner or intermediate riders focused on simple tricks.
  • Steel: Heavier but significantly more durable, perfect for advanced riders who perform rigorous grinds and stunts regularly.
  • Chromoly: A premium option offering the best balance between weight and durability, suitable for serious riders.

Size and Shape

Peg size and shape influence the types of tricks you can perform:

  • Shorter pegs: Best suited for technical grinds and street-style tricks.
  • Longer pegs: Offer greater stability for park riding and extended grinds.

Some scooter decks and forks are wider and may need pegs designed with narrower ends. Always consider your scooter's deck width and fork size when selecting pegs.

Price vs Quality

Scooter pegs are available at various price points. While you don't need to spend a fortune, higher-priced pegs typically feature stronger materials and better durability. Investing a bit more initially can often save money in the long term by avoiding frequent replacements.

Installation Tips

  • Verify compatibility first.
  • If using non-integrated pegs, check if you require longer axle bolts.
  • Ensure bolts are securely tightened but avoid overtightening, which can damage threads.
  • Regularly inspect your scooter pegs and bolts for signs of wear or loosening.

Safety and Maintenance

Always wear protective gear such as helmets and pads when performing tricks or using scooter pegs. Regularly check pegs for wear or damage, replacing worn components immediately to prevent accidents.

Warranty and Support

Scooter pegs typically come with a standard warranty, often around 90 days, covering manufacturing defects. This warranty does not usually include regular wear and tear. Always check the warranty terms provided by the manufacturer or retailer when purchasing.

FAQ

Can scooter pegs fit any scooter?

Most scooter pegs are universal, but it's important to check compatibility with your scooter model as some scooters may require specific pegs or additional parts.

Do scooter pegs come with bolts?

Integrated pegs typically come with bolts included, while non-integrated pegs often require purchasing longer bolts separately.
